"We Didn't Start the Fire" is theme for BHS tradition

Brush pride and the Beetdigger spirit will prevail throughout Brush as BHS hosts a week filled with homecoming activities for all, beginning Monday, October 1.

According to staff at BHS, this year's theme will reflect the proud traditions at the school in an effort to keep those traditions alive while moving forward.

During the Homecoming Parade, slated to begin at BHS at 2 p.m. on Friday, October 5, both the past and present accomplishments of the school and district will be reflected and each decade is hoped to be honored with floats and even classic cars.

PARADE ROUTE: Parade floats and classic cars alike will wind west on Emerson Street to Samples Avenue, then south on Samples to Edmunds. The parade will travel east on Edmunds Street all the way to its intersection with Clayton Street, where a downtown pep rally will be held.

The BHS Cheerleading squad will also host a face-painting booth to help fans show their Brush pride during both the Tuesday night Volleyball and Friday night football games.

The "Alumni & Student Appreciation" event kicks off at 5 p.m. on Friday, October 5, with a dinner, car show, music and more to take place just west of Beetdigger Stadium.

Sponsoring and serving up a BBQ to the first 500 fans will be members of the BHS FFA organization, with proceeds from the recommended $7 donation to support trips to state and national events.

Stepping up to sponsor the meal of hamburgers, hot dogs, chips and pop is Spradley-Barr Ford in Greeley and John Wieneke and David P. Vondy, Fleet Sales, with desserts provided by FFA students and families.

Live entertainment, sponsored by Buildings by Design, will be held during the BBQ, with Lost in the Decades DJ providing all the classics. Following the tailgate party, the BHS Woods class will have picnic tables available for purchase for $200.

At 7 p.m., the Brush Beetdiggers will take on the Strasburg Indians, with the half-time show to include homecoming activities.
